Game of hearts

By Tiersha

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Love is like a game, you can never seem to win, there's always someone else to blame but does it matter in the end and every time the cards are dealt I know I'm damned from the start, still deal me another hand in this fool's game of hearts. The world is a lonely place with no one to embrace, laying in bed every night next to an empty space, dancing in the candlelight, dreaming of one true, yet the shadows on the wall all lead back to you. Love is like a game you can never play for free, risking all you can for what you think could be, while memories of promises tear my walls apart, still deal me another hand in this fool's game of hearts. Everyone has a memory of a time they tried in vain and everyone has a fantasy to make up for the pain. Every time I try again, there's a damned good chance I'll fall, but I have to give it everything, or not bother to try at all. Love is like a game I guess I have to play, just to love the one I'm with, tomorrow come what may. For the world is like a theaterand I'm willing to play my part, so would you care to join me in a friendly game of hearts?1989, Written September 30th, 2001 © on Sep 29 2001 04:44 PM PST   18 • 0 • 8
